The summer is ending as well as wintry weather is on its way yet again, for many citizens this is the point in time to start to look into securing their supply of wood pellets set for coldness. When buying wood pellets there are evident things that must be considered and prearranged before placing an order. The first matter to resolve is where are the pellets going to be stored. Pellets currently are commonly sold in 20lb bags, and delivered on a pallet. The pallet will usually hold over half a tonne of pellets. The bags even though made from plastic, cannot be stored outside. The bags must be stored in doors in a little humidity atmosphere. The motive for this is the bags really have small holes in them to let wetness escape, so the pellets do not sweat. The average home will use approximately 3 tonnes of pellets over a heating period. Therefore the equivalent is storage space of 6 pallets of pellets. Bagged pellets, despite the fact that currently the market trend, has many disadvantages. Many people today do not like having to move the bags into the storage area, and then when required move the pellets to the stove or boiler. This is particularly not suitable for elderly people, or people with disabilities or in weak health. Also a different disadvantage with pellet bags is the supplementary cost added on the order to parcel the pellets into bags. Finally, there is the matter of pellet bag disposal and recycling. There is a lot of employment essential in the deposal and recycling or pellet bags, not to cite the fuel inputs required to do so. The wood pellet industry is slowly moving onto additional bulk delivery systems, with users installing pellet silos. Pellet Silo?s are essentially large tanks, similar to oil tanks at this time used in home heating systems, or a large coal bunker. The pellets can either be delivered by tanker and blown into the silo, or the pellets can be delivered loose in large bags and then placed in the silo.

The types of wood pellet silo available range quite a lot, from basic simple manually operated units, to more superior automated units. The straightforward basic silos possibly will be a raised bag or solid silo, with a gate valve at the bottom. The user can then by hand work the gate valve to release the necessary volume of pellets into a container for example. However there are more complicated, but more expensive units for people who want a wholly automated unit. Some wood pellet silos have a rigid or flexible auger feed system, which automatically fills the small hopper on the stove or boiler. The top of the line silos in Europe even send a txt message to the pellet suppler when the silo is getting low, to order some more pellets.
